Hill Poll: In Like Clint; Voters Says, “We Have To Let You Go”

September 4, 2012

Tell me again how the country really must have been puzzled by Clint Eastwood’s RNC remarks. He was only saying precisely what a majority of voters were thinking.

You don’t mess around with Clint Eastwood. And Superman. Ok, and a lot of other people, too. But that’s besides the point. I know what I mean; as did Eastwood, evidently. Plus, more than enough viewers of the GOP convention to make his appearance a hit.

Only 31 percent of voters believe the nation is in “better condition,” while 15 percent say it is “about the same,” the poll found. Just 40 percent of voters said Obama deserves reelection.The results highlight the depth of voter dissatisfaction confronting Obama as he makes his case for a second term at this week’s Democratic National Convention in Charlotte, N.C.
